Dan,

I am doing the same and also had to go to the "R" for arcs and increase the
number of decimal places to 6. I figured it was worth asking Fred about an
EMC specific driver and it would be great if it automatically added the M2
at the end. It seems there is a lot of g-code that EMC handles that Vector
does not use. I know one thing that drives me crazy is in a pocket if you
use cuts that reverse direction EMC generates all of them as G42 even though
that offsets the wrong way every other pass. I asked Fred once and he
explained how to correct this using layers, but I can't say that I have ever
gotten the hang of it.
